    BUILD THREAD 78 Malibu 350 rocket build kind of

    Yes, without the A/C compressor, it is right as you need two belts driven off the crank. Never seen that on an Olds V8 powered car.

    BUILD THREAD 78 Malibu 350 rocket build kind of

    It should work. As long as everything is aligned and the factory spacers on the power steering and the bottom bolt going to the block with the proper spacer are in place, you should be good to go.

    Valvoline Restore and Protect

    For some reason, it isn't available in Canada yet. I have ordered it a couple of times from the states. I received 1/2 a jug of 0W20 from Ebay, no internal seal and the cap moved. I mixed with their full synthetic for my Challenger. I received a free jug for it's replacement and put in it my...

    BUILD THREAD 78 Malibu 350 rocket build kind of

    It is actually a 3 barrel, impoved version of a Carter Thermoquad with a dual intake bolt pattern. It needs no adapter, unlike the Carter/Edelbrock carb to bolt to the stock intake. The only issues I have heard are insufficient fuel supply to the secondaries on high performance engines. Either...

    That is rough, I would have went 625 cfm Street Demon over an Edelbrock.

    BUILD THREAD 78 Malibu 350 rocket build kind of

    It actually should be a 73 Olds 350, the one year Oldsmobile made them. Not sure why Olds did them just the one year. Either the engines are basically the exact same from 1973 to 1976. They are a very reliable engine for their time. Either a piston swap and bowl hog on the #8 heads or an early...

    1970 Olds Cutlass S Rat Rod Style

    I received my grommets last night. I am going to find a spot on the passenger firewall to drill a 1.5" hole to route the Holley Terminator X Max wiring through the firewall and mount the ECM in the glove box. It will just look so much neater. When I drop the 4L80E to replace the flexplate, I...

    Anyone try the Continental Winter Contact SI Plus on any vehicle?

    These tires are fantastic. Our roads are really slippery and will continue that way till spring. Good braking and very little spinning punching it. My Wife has found the same thing. Also got them to program the Schrader tire sensors, work like factory and nice too have. Pressure fluctuates from...

    1970 W-43 (A one of one factory spec build)

    Yes, it was. One former Olds employee who has since passed on, that Chevrolet threw an absolute fit when this motor was planning on being built. Whether that has any truth to it, only those involved would have known. Unfortunately whether it was true or not, rising insurance and probably more...

    He made another head, someone from Olds involved with the original project showed up. He is lucky anyone involved is still alive.

    1970 Olds Cutlass S Rat Rod Style

    Well, I finally fired up the heat in the garage early this morning, -28 point something on my weather station. After many hours of stalling, watching our new 55 RCA smart TV, I finally got outside. I unboxed my new 3 ton floor jack that can lift 24 inches, $100 off, $250. It is ridiculously...

    1970 Olds Cutlass S Rat Rod Style

    This one has a slight noise but, only a slight sound and notchy feel. Cutlassefi had two seize up on the dyno! Yes, not a bad guess, there were serious issues.

    So you want to install a 4L80E? Learn from my mistakes (and successes!)

    I picked up a used GM reman 4L80E out of 2009 van with the 6L that supposedly had an injector stick with 60,000 km on the reman, paid an eye watering $1500 Canadian. It works great, factory converterh flashes at 2100 rpm, anywhere from 1500 to high 2000's are claimed online, mine is right in the...

    1970 W-43 (A one of one factory spec build)

    Hey, at least they dynoed the motor, it made 560 HP and 540 ft-lbs of torque. This Pentroof 4 valve motor was nicknamed the "Killer" for a reason.

    Good thinking, have one of those stethoscopes. I will put it on stands this weekend and run it. I also have a new bore scope coming.

    1970 Olds Cutlass S Rat Rod Style

    Pulled the plugs, they all looked like the same. It definitely sounds external or totally different that the last few rod knocks my Olds have developed, almost tinny in person. If the motor isn't screwed, I am considering going to my Qjet, Performer and manual control of the 4L80E and putting...

    I may be interested in one. I may be moving the Terminator X Max to my Dakota and will be in the market for an affordable controller.

    My nearly new, 0 owner 2017 Dodge Challenger GT

    I inspected the center bearing and housing. Everything was tight with no wear but I have been hearing a click under load. So I hit the bearing with Deep Creep, then Corosion guard the Surface Shield, see if that helps.

    Anyone try the Continental Winter Contact SI Plus on any vehicle?

    Just got these put on. The other day was slushy and they did fine. A storm rolled in yesterday and the temp dropped and it was a skating rink. It drove like it was Summer, it was impressive but I wasn't driving like an idiot. I drive my Dakota with studded Goodyear Wranglers that are pretty...
